Former Texas running back and NFL Hall of Famer Earl Campbell told a Houston-based TV station Sunday it was time for the Longhorns to replace coach Mack Brown.

"Nobody likes to get fired or leave a job, but things happen," Campbell told Fox 26. "I'd go on record and say 'yes I think it's time.'

"I'd just say this, I take my hat off for USC for what they've done. They didn't mess around with it. They just said 'let's do it now.' I think at some point our university's people are going to have make a decision."
